Game one on Saturday was against UConn. Senior Shelby Jacobson drew the start for just the second time this season and was dominant. Jacobson walked five batters but only allowed one hit with no runs scored through four and two-thirds innings.
UConn’s defense also brought their A-game, allowing no runs through four innings as well. Sophomore Hannah Conger opened the Badgers, scoring in the fifth with an infield single that scored a run. Junior Hilary Blomberg and sophomore Kendra Lewis added a run each to put the Badgers up 3-0.
